Rare Blue Porcupine Puffer Fish

Most Porcupine Puffers (Diodon holocanthus) are a shade of brown/yellow, but Absolutely Fish currently has a rare blue specimen for sale. What's more, the puffer is an irresistible 1.5" juvenile. If you are in the NJ/NYC area, check it out in person ... that is, if it hasn't already sold.

According to Absolutely Fish (New Jersey, USA), they have not seen a blue Porcupine Puffer variant in over 3 years and have only seen eight specimens in 25 years. This specimen was collected from Bali and is being offered for sale for $199. Reefbuilders has identified the species as a Diodon eydouxii, which can stay blue (albeit a lighter shade of blue) into adulthood.
